end of day 2

position 33.31.82s, 176.59.57e, course 55T
sunny day and we are settling in, not too much wind so lots of motoring. good way to start, but wishing for about 5 more knots of wind. I know, I know, I want it all. Everyone caught up on sleep today, I finally feel human - just in time for night watch.
It's still a bit cool, we are all in long sleeves and long trousers during the day and bundled up at night. The moon came up last night and looked like a big ship on the horizon. Was pretty bright when it finally decided to come out from behind the clouds.
Not too much traffic out here, saw a freighter yesterday afternoon, and a sailboat passed behind us this afternoon. had a swallow hanging out today - way too far out for him. Paul said he was able to pick him up out of the cockpit. Finally flew off.
Boat systems functioning properly at the moment. the part for the refrigerator and freezer didn't come in time, so a boat coming to Tonga behind us will bring it. So, they are functioning, just have to turn them on and off as they are either on or off - lol.
